3 Scientific and research activity The research activity of Agostino Marengo takes place, in 1994, above all in the field of didactical methodologies implemented by the use ICT technologies, in particular the development of e-learning web-based platforms LMSs and CMSs to facilitate the introduction of distance learning technologies in traditional courses, availing of the didactical methodologies that such technologies imply and emphasize (active learning, constructivism and socio-constructivism), with the purpose to improve the effectiveness of the intervention of traditional didactic activity in presence, and coming in this way to the best known blended formula. A research activity, which has the purpose of verify, through the competence acquired and consolidated with the participation to Master courses at the Bocconi University in Milan and at the CO.IN.FO. in Turin, the use of methodologies and instruments technologically advanced, in such a way to complete and improve the action of the conventional didactic activity, and addressed to the production and experimentation of formative programme and hypermedia and hypertext software applications, of didactical aspect. Recently the goal of his research plan is to build a System Prototype of a Machine Learning on which running the management of different kinds of Reusable Learning Objects to evaluate: 1. The fixing of the relationships between semantic web scheme and ontology model ; 2. The building of specific ontologies for the RLO (Reusable Learning Objects) and building the repository for a pilot teaching topic ; 3. The integration of the defined ontologies with the Semantic Web inside the LMS using RDF/OWL language and the creation of the Intelligent Software Agent; The goal of the research is setting up an e-learning course (preferably in System Dynamics) structure, implemented on a Learning Management System (web based and Open Source), on which evaluate Semantic Web applications using the Intelligent Software Agent, built during the research development, to plan and build a learning path. Agostino Marengo is, also, the coordinator of OSEL (Open Source e-learning, research project in which the research plan is to create a database of Open Source LCMSs in order to choose and compare them. The research group is actually involved in usability, accessibility and quality evaluation of LMS (Learning Management Systems) and CMS (Content Management Systems) with a special goal to evaluate Open Source e-learning platforms. The Open Source LCMSs are useful instruments in an academic environment for many reasons: high scalability, wide range of functions, easiness of use, high power performance and inexpensiveness. In such innovative research areas, Agostino Marengo has been the author of some research papers published on international high rated journals and conferences. His first paper was published in AICA International Conference on

6 International Cooperation The research activity has given the opportunity of activate some international collaboration with: 1. Tempus IV European Project. Coordinator of the Italian Unit at University of Bari for the Tempus IV Project. Cardiff University leading PROJECT REFERENCE N : TEMPUS UK-TEMPUS- SMGR Project Name: Leadership in Higher Education Management 2. Senior Research Fellowships Program of the Internet Interdisciplinary Institute (IN3) at the Open University of Catalonia (UOC) a research activity on A semantic web based approach for dynamic e-learning - Learning Insight System - LIS Project June - September Tempus Project JEP European Project with University of Sunderland, University of Bari, University of Irkutsk (Ukraine), University of Donetsk (Russia). Tempus Project Coordinator: Prof. Alfredo Moscardini, Tempus Project Technical Director for University of Bari: Prof. Eng. Agostino Marengo. 4. Luleå University of Technology di Luleå in Svezia, coordinated by Prof. Thomas Olofsson: o To support institutions and teachers in: Setting up and maintain Web servers to run calculation scripts. Assist teachers in make web learning tools consisting of WebPages and scripts. Set up and maintain Learning Management Systems. Inform institutions and teachers in new useful e-learning tools. On consult basis assist teachers in making web learning tools. o Advantage with a collaboration across Europe. Two different universities with specific culture, learning methodology and language. Two different ways to approach the problem (webmathematica and matlab) We will collaborate to mix and exchange our experiences on web learning tools. 5. Prof. Alfredo Moscardini University of Sunderland (UK) for the study of the implications of Artificial Intelligence into e-learning systems and methodologies. 6. Prof. Robert Chi, Associate Professor at California State University of Long Beach, for the research on CRM open-source software, understanding how they improve business performances and how to implement them in different kinds of marketing oriented companies. 7. Prof. Michaela Driver, assistant professor in Management, East Tennesee State University, providing some solutions for basic courses 6

7 and concentrating more on the technology and elementary web tools, we are really interested in further developing the interaction between students and teachers. We are thinking of a course mailing-list and a free e-space where students/teachers can share news and comments on the course material and, above all, we are thinking to project a didacticmethodological path on a prototype. This prototype will be easily used from teachers and technicians involved on e-learning project development. MORE: Ordinary member of IEEE, Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. Ordinary Member of Society of Artificial Intelligence in Education - 7
